Two of the three jewels in the 2021 Triple Crown are in the books following Rombauer's win in the Preakness Stakes on May 15 at Pimlico, and the racing world catches a breath this week as owners of top 3-year-olds determine whether to join Rombauer in the June 5 Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets, the centerpiece of a spectacular stakes-packed weekend at Belmont Park. In the meantime, action at Belmont, Churchill Downs, Santa Anita Park and Gulfstream Park highlights this week in racing.
